As part of 100 Quilts for Kids there is also a free Star Bright Quilt Pattern download here– makes a quick and fun charity quilt, as well as a series called 25 Free Motion Quilting Ideas: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. I hope you join me again in September 2014.

My motto this summer is to make things as simple as possible for myself and those around me. In that vein, I decided to open the 100 Quilts for Kids Linky Party today! You can link up as soon as you finish and donate the quilt (no works in progress shots please), or you can wait until the end of September, whichever is easiest for you.

If you make and donate a quilt to an organization or child in need in your community (or elsewhere around the world) sometime between July 1, 2013 and September 30, 2013, I would love to have you link to a picture of the quilt here! For every quilt you “link up,” you will be eligible for one of the prizes listed in this post; the prizes will be drawn at random from this linky party.

You can link to a picture on a blog, on Facebook, or on flickr or another photo sharing site. If there is a way to link to Instagram, please let me know.

Thanks!

P.S.

Link Up Directions: Enter your URL (the flickr/facebook/or blog link), name, and email. Hit next. Choose your picture, crop if desired, or submit without cropping. If you have any questions, please leave me a comment or send me an email!

Not a dumb question at all. I would suggest looking up a local foster care agency/group, a children’s hospital, maybe a local homeless shelter/domestic violence shelter. My city has an Office on Women which kind of coordinates these different groups. You could also check out a local branch of Project Linus, or send to one of the groups listed in this post: http://swimbikequilt.com/2013/07/100-quilts-for-kids-charity-quilt-drive-starts-today.html. I hope this helps!

Hi- I would link each quilt up separately–it will give people the opportunity to see each of the quilts and you will have a better chance of winning a prize (one entry for each linkup/quilt), but you can do it however is easiest to you.

I have 2 quilts to donate but only one link up. They are in the same post and it won’t let me link a separate photo using the same blog post link. Could I just do one link to my blog, a generic link so to speak for the second quilt?

[...] pack friendly and fun to sew—it would be a great baby gift or a charity quilt (just wrapped up 100 Quilts for Kids 2013 on my blog– maybe you will join us next year?) And just a note–I have included very [...]
